Perfect dress for the hourglass/pear-shaped figure! The fabric was thick and comfortable! Wore this cute little number to an awards banquet dinner at an upscale hotel in the city! The only hiccup was the straps that I needed to pull back down frequently throughout the evening, but didn't disturb the flattering silhouette in any way! Ordered the dresses and got them next day delivery just 2 days before the event--thanks RTR--second time using RTR! You guys are the best!!!
The dress fit me like a glove and was so beautiful! I wore it to my husband's fancy company Christmas party and got lots of compliments. The only problem I had was that the little hanger loops were attached to the shoulders, and they kept slipping out (or I kept feeling like they were slipping out). Also, I wore nude pumps as recommended, but I felt like it didn't quite look right. If I could go back, I'd wear black or sparkly pumps instead. Overall though, I loved it!
Great fit, beautiful fabric, rich color and perfect length (just below the knee with a small slit in the back). Lovely neckline. Only issue was the small gap between the shoulder strap and the top of the dress required a little bit of care to avoid it slipping down, which probably wouldn't have been an issue if I'd worn the medium.
I really wanted to like this dress. The color and neckline are beautiful and would have been very appropriate for a rehearsal dinner I was attending as a MOH. Unfortunately, the overall fit really didn't work for me. It was snug, not too tight, but fit best in the body when I pulled it up slightly. But when it was pulled up a bit, the zipper in the back got really bunched up and wouldn't lay flat. To get the zipper to lay down correctly within this really heavy material, I would have had to scoot it down, but that made it look too tight. Also, the neckline requires you to keep your arms down, so I wouldn't rent this dress if dancing is involved!
Really liked the dress EXCEPT the little hanger loops (and there are four!) stuck out all night. I should have taped them in, but didn't and then all night I was tucking them back in/away. They slipped out constantly and are in almost all my photos hah! If I owned the dress would have cut them off, no problem but of course that wasn't an option. If you secure them away though, this is overall a gorgeous dress - very sexy, very classy. I paired with black tights for NYE but nude pumps and bare legs would have been a great look in warmer weather. I liked that the dress wasn't very flashy, yet it was unique and super sexy!
A beautiful color in person. Sort of purple and sort of brown. I received compliments all night in this dress. The ties and tag sort of fall out but I taped them up and had no problem. I wore a large that fit well but was a tad loose. If your prefer a tight fit size down but if you want a looser more comfortable fit then size correctly. Pictures don't do it justice. Much more interesting than a basic black dress !
I wore this dress to a winter wedding. I loved the deep plum color, the thick fabric, the length, and the sassy back slit. However, I found the small to be a bit large in the chest. I had to continue to raise it up throughout the night. It's also very hard to dance in because you cannot move your arms without the off the shoulder straps going crazy (I should have known better). Also, there are two pairs of hanger strings on the dress. One pair is on the off the shoulder straps and I ended up taping them to the fabric so it wasn't seen. I would've ordered the extra small and would wear to an event without dancing!
Loved this dress, very Jessica Rabbit vibes. A little confusing when shown on the hanger how exactly to wear the dress but once you figure it out it looks amazing.The dark purple wine color was perfect for winter.
This dress is really a beautiful, merlot color. I agree, the arm straps don't really stay down when you move around a whole lot, but on the plus side, I feel like it made my posture better. Sizing is pretty true to size, I'm usually a 0/2 and the XS fit great. Could have been a little more form fitting through my bottom half. Overall I would definitely rent again!
I am 5'2" 115 lbs and this dress was way too big even the XS. The back was scrunched up and the length was nearly at my ankles. The top wouldn't lay at my shoulders without scrunching up and looking puffy in the center. Really bummed about this dress. I was so busy before my event and chose to rent so I wouldn't have to go find a dress but ended up having to wear an old dress tucked in the back of my closet.
This was honestly one of the most beautiful dresses I have ever worn. I fell in love with it the moment I put it on. It flattered my figure and was comfortable. It was perfect for my fancy Valentine's day date! The top is a bit fussy though, the shoulder bit doesn't like to stay put for long! It will stay though and it really frames your collarbones and face. I chose to wear a big gold bangle as my only adornment and that was perfect. I will probably rent this dress again.
As others have noted, the dress is a gorgeous color and fabric. And as another customer said about her own impressions and experience, I really wanted to love this dress. Oddly, I do still love it, but had the same problems. The XS was too tight in the shoulders but was otherwise fine, except for the zipper. The S fit well enough, but again the zipper was just a nightmare of bunching more or less right between the shoulder blades. There was no way to get the zipper to lie flat with either size without having to fuss with the dress constantly. My husband thought it was a really lovely dress til I turned around and showed him the zipper. He said it was okay, if I didn't mind a bunchy zipper, and anyway I'd be sitting most of the evening. It's too bad. If I could buy this dress and have sections of it altered, I'd do it in a flash. Unfortunately, with the construction of the back zipper, it's a nuisance to wear beautifully or comfortably.
Just like everyone else says the straps are a pain. I had to tape them down and by the end of the night I could feel the tape coming undone. The color is perfect, you can easily wear a strapless bra. Also like the reviews before - if you are looking to dance / move your arms a lot this is not the right dress. I would definitely rent again if I cannot find it online to purchase. Sizing: The large was a little lose but the main reason I did not wear it was because there was no attached to it. For me it was hard to add a slip underneath (lack of a chest). Without the slip it didn't lay right. Thankfully the medium fit, showed off more curves than I would have like for a black tie charity event I was attending with work folks (I was probably the only one who noticed this) I received many compliments. I feel like I have broader shoulders so the shoulder wrap was a little snug in the medium - but it did keep me standing up straight all night. I wore nude simple strap heels much like the model in the photos and kept jewelry simple.
The strings that have been mentioned in other comments were true to me as well. Just annoying but not terrible! I taped them. Very long for a short girl... would recommend for tall ladies or if short, wear small high heels to make your legs look longer!
Ordered the small and extremely thankful for the backup size (M). The small was able to zip (barely), but after a few martinis and a banquet buffet it could have been disastrous. The medium fit great, Spanx held everything in. The fabric is fairly thick so no panty lines (+). The length was just below the knees. The hanger straps are a bit long but fashion tape or tucking them into a strapless bra will do the trick. I received compliments all night from both young and old. Conservative enough to not offend anyone, yet hip enough to keep up with the young whippersnappers. Would certainly rent again!
Wore it to a wedding reception- received several compliments through the night. Fabric is great, LOVE the back zipper going all the way to the bottom. Good fit. Kinda too long though but that is the intent
Fits true to size, very comfortable yet very sexy.
Great fit
I wore this to my law school formal. It fit really great!! I fluctuate between a 4, 6, or 8 and I wore the medium. I have muscular arms and shoulders so it was pretty snug around there but I didn't have any problems. The only big difference I found between the medium and large was the length. I'm a short girl so the medium fit better! Definitely a must-rent!
I wore this to a fancy work dinner, so I needed something beautiful and classy, which this dress was. The curve hugging was an added bonus. You can wear this without a bra, but I felt more comfortable with a strapless. The only thing was the neckline kept slipping just enough to show the top of my bra (less classy). I don't think anyone noticed, though. The dress was also weirdly bunched in the back, but I think that's because I have a relatively short torso so there was extra material. Overall I was very happy, got lots of compliments, would rent again. I updated my profile but it's still showing my old information, so in order not to be misleading-- current weight: 138 lbs bra size: 30E
The fit is really flattering and looks especially great on hourglass and pear shapes. The dress was perfect for the gala I attended, but I probably would have been annoyed if I'd worn this dress to a wedding or party with dancing as each time I raised my arms, I'd have to readjust the shoulder straps. Other than that - perfect dress!
I purchased this dress for a gala since it was not too formal and sexier than a cocktail dress. The main issue I had was the shoulder /straps were -strange. No matter how I manipulated them, I would get a ripple in the back. I thought it was my body-but the medium was too big. Lovely color and great on the hanger-just not on me.
I wore this with a loose cardigan to the office to make it feel a bit more casual and then traded up for a pair of strappy heels for date night. I received compliments all around! I would have been a bit more comfortable in a smaller size, my chest didn't quite fill it out, but was still alright for a one day wear.
The only issue with the dress is that the sleeves needed to be push down throughout the night and the hanger straps fell out a lot.
It fit perfectly. true to size
I ordered a Medium even though I am usually a 4 because I read reviews on this brand elsewhere and it apparently ran small. The M fit like an 8 (as it should). The dress was way too big to tell how it looked but it looks like a gorgeous dress on the hangar. I wish I ordered the Small, I would have loved to have worn it!!!
Great, thick fabric, hugs your body in the right places. Wine color is flattering and looked great with neutral shoes and a wrap at the church ceremony. Would rent this dress again!
I wore the large. It was a little tight, but I didn't mind because of the stretch . I received many compliments and I felt perfect while wearing it.
The fit was good, and the dress was beautiful. It was extremely heavy though, which was not bad for February but may not be great for summer. All in all i really liked this dress
This dress is a really nice burgundy color and it does stretch, which made moving around in it all night easy. The shoulder straps do tend to rise up and needs adjusting every so often, but I didn't mind at all. Loved it, another great RTR dress!!
The pros were that the dress fit well according to size I ordered the L and M just in case the M didn't fit (It didn't fit to my liking, to tight on my belly lol). The cons were the dress doesn't work well with jackets or petite shoulders.
i loved the fit and the material is very comfortable. the shoulders do not stay in place. it would of been better if it had the sticky bead to help it stay on the shoulders. I will say that if you are okay with it not staying on your shoulders it still looks good.
I received so many compliments all night because of this dress! The medium fit but it was a little snug so I went with the large and it was super comfortable. Some people complained about the sleeves moving up on them all night but it really didn't bother me. I was nervous the length was going to be too long because I'm 5'3 but it ended up being perfect. Loved this dress and am definitely renting it again!
Wore this for an evening wedding. It is simple and sophisticated. I received so many compliments! This was my first time with RTR, and it was beyond easy! I am short, so the dress was a little longer on me, but I actually liked it better that way. Rent this one right away!
I'm super tall, so it's always hard to find great dresses that are appropriate for work events. I got this dress as a replacement for a back-up when that one was damaged and was initially nervous about the slit in the back being too high. It ended up being the perfect combination of elegant and sexy. Wish I could own this dress forever!
Wore this for fashion event at art museum. Loved how sleek the dress was and the fabric/color was gorgeous. Unfortunately all my pics for the night are from the waist up but here is one of me trying on dress with accessories. This was my first time using RTW and I loved it!
I love the dress! Oh so classy! My favorite part of this dress is the off the shoulder sleeves, it can be worn on or off the shoulder, whatever your preference. It hugs your hips but does have a lot of stretch which allows it to be very comfortable. I would pair with stylish strappy heels. I would recommend sizing up for back up size. strapless bra or no bra would be best.
The small dress fit, but as some others had reviewed, it did bunch in the back and the shoulder rode up. These concerns seemed better with the larger size. I wore the medium and overall was very pleased. I received many compliments and felt very comfortable.
If you have a small chest I suggest tape . It fit my bottom half snuggly but I'm narrow up to and my boobs kept creeping up . The off the shoulder is cute but also requires adjusting throughout the night. In retrospect I would get this dress again in a XS.
Loved this dress. Was a great length for someone my height, hit just below the knee - and showed off all the right curves. Compliments left and right all night about how awesome it was. Very comfortable. It's knit so it will move with you and is tight but not constricting. My only issue is the slit in the back. It comes up pretty high and halfway through the ceremony I realized my spanx had the propensity to be seen through the slit when I was walking. I just hiked the legs of the shorts a little and went on. But that's my only word of caution with this dress. You need the brief spanx, not the spanx shorts. Perhaps for someone not as tall the slit wouldn't be an issue. Also, I'm very busty, 34DD. I have issues with a lot of dresses in this area, but this was quite lovely.
